today’s princess… Padme Robe

Sorry I didn't post yesterday! I was exhausted! It's "No Kevin Week" at work - he's at camp, so we're having to do his job. Boy do you appreciate all the hard work he does when he's not there! I came home and went to sleep... then woke up and made some ruffles. More on that later. I had this done sunday night and meant to post it yesterday. Sorry! :( ...

a whole lot of nothing… and Picnic Padme

So I did a lot of stuff yesterday, but all of it added up to nothing, pretty much. We ran errands, I messed with the serger, vacuumed, gave the dog a bath, cleaned... etc. I didn't really mess with costumes, I'm kinda stuck at the moment until I can go shopping. today I am going to finish the sleeves on the underdress for one of my costumes - I decided ...

up too early & a sketch

I'm up early because I have a dr appt this morning. ugh! A few people suggested I make a facebook page (as opposed to my profile). I waffled about it for a while... because I really didn't see the need when I have a public profile anyone can friend. But I asked Chase if I should and he said "sure"... so I made one yesterday LOL. I'll be using it ...

Padme Picnic Preview

I'm going to have to start posting in-progress pieces in order to post something everyday - I've got too much sewing to do for Dragoncon to be able to draw every night. So here's today's sneek peek. This week has been dragging on. Next week will be worse - Kevin will be away at camp! So work will be boring.

Gaga corset, and Padme art

I got a virus about a month ago, I successfully removed it that night and all was good. Well not really. Ever since then I haven't been able to upload pics - but only it certain places. I can't upload using flickr's main uploadr, which I've never had an issue with before - I have to use the basic uploader where you can only do 6 at a time. I can't ...

Legos, and Padme Travel Gown art

We got no work done last night. It was a night for vegging out. We picked up dinner instead of cooking, watched the Tudors (one more episode and we're caught up - I really like the woman playing Katherine Parr, she's really pretty) and played Star Wars Legos. I bought the version that has the PT and OT on one, for our wii. We previously had the two separate games ...

Padme Senate art and More Redbirds Pics

today's princess is... Padme. Shocker, I know. I got Chase's pics from the Redbirds game, and I also nicked a couple that the Redbirds team sent to us. Here's my fav from the Redbirds: And Chase's... We just look like we're having a nice conversation LOL Vader throwing the opening pitch, and me walking out onto the field.... I just liked this pic of Rockey... it had starting drizzling. I ...

eyelashes are not bugs

today we have Padme... So the truth is I wear fake eyelashes with most of my costumes. This is for two reasons: the first, I have thin, fine eyelashes that, while they're actually decently long, they just don't look like much even with mascara. Everyday wear, mascara is fine, but not for costuming/getting your pic taken, etc. And secondly, I tend to look like a deer in headlights when ...

Amidala Senate art

I only have one more episode 1 outfit to go :) So I've changed up my Dragoncon costume plans a bit. I need to update the in-progress page because of it. I've dropped two costumes and added one definite, one maybe. The two I dropped are Ame-Comi Black Canary and Batgirl. Batgirl I dropped because #1, the expense - if I drop it, it frees up a lot of money to spend on ...
